DSR Methodology

▼

DSR = PSR(SR̂₀) per Bailey & López de Prado (2014). SR̂₀ = 1.2048 (expected best Sharpe from 10 random filter trials).

Testing multiple filters on the same data increases the chance of finding a good result by luck. DSR measures whether this result clears the multiple-testing threshold. Pass threshold: DSR ≥ 90%. Current: 0.0%.
